Well, I'm preparing my own materials because decent materials don't currently exist - even AWDwR teaches TDD as an afterthought. However, I will be borrowing heavily from inspiration found in various books and materials already there. I imagine the first Rails app people will be building will be a shopping cart, for example... :-) > You could sell trainer training too btw - train people how to deliver > the materials you wrote.

For me the business execution is still being worked out, but it's this simple: I don't know how to sell training courses, so I'll partner with a firm that does sell IT training all the time and we'll share up the profits. I don't mind coding, I don't mind training, but I don't think I have the mindset to sell training courses so I'll "outsource" that bit. That doesn't prevent the learning materials themselves being shared openly though. -- Paul Robinson http://vagueware.com :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: +44 (0) 7740 465746 Vagueware Limited is registered in England/Wales, number 05700421 Registered Office: 3 Tivoli Place, Ilkley, W.
